Taking Chances
Summary- What if Luke and Lorelai weren't interrupted by Mrs. Kim in Double Date.
I do not own Gilmore Girls or anyone working with Gilmore Girls. If I did Season 7 would be different.
Dialogue borrowed from 1.12 Double Date
"God,That's nice."
"Yep"
"The whole first date beginning of the relationship glow." Lorelai said looking over at Sookie and Jackson.
"Everything's new and exciting. Every joke is hilarious"
"Every little touch is incredible" Lorelai said as she touches Luke's arm.
"God, that's a good feeling"
"It is at that."
"I miss that"
"You'll have it again."
"I guess"
"Maybe sometime we could go on a date."
"Are you asking me out?"
"Yes I am. So do you want to go on a date with me."
"Um sure."
"How about Monday night."
"Okay. What should I wear?"
"Something casual."
"Okay. see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow for you coffee."
Lorelai and Sookie are walking home.
"Luke asked me out tonight"
"What? He asked you out."
"Yeah. We were watching the two of you and I was talking and then he asked me out."
"Wow. What are you going to tell Rory."
"I don't know. A few weeks ago she didn't want me dating Luke."
"Really. Why did she say that."
"To protect me I guess or maybe she thinks that Chris will come back some day."
"I'll see you tomorrow at the inn."
"See you tomorrow."
Lorelai got stopped by Mrs. Kim.
"Lorelai. Where are the girls tonight?"
"At the movies with Dean."
"You let them go to the movies with a boy."
"Yes. It's Dean and his friend."
"I don't care. Lane is not allowed to date."
"I think you should give her some slack"
"Why. do you think I'm hard on her."
"No. But my parents did the same thing to me. I snuck out almost every night. They tried to control me.
"You blame your parents for getting pregnant."
"No. I just with that my parents were less strict then I would have to hide things from them."
"I will think about it. Thank you. Lets got get the girls."
"Okay."
Dean, Rory, Lane and Todd are walking out of the theater when Lane hears "LANE KIM"
"Oh no. It's my mom"
"And my mom."
"Wow two moms" Todd said.
"Lane lets go home. You have some stuff to explain to me."
Lane walked home with her mom.
Rory and Lorelai said goodbye to Dean and Todd.
"Rory. why did you lie to me?"
"I didnt I told you we were going to the movies.'
"Yes you told me that but what you didn't tell me was that Dean was there and so was the other guy."
"I didnt want to tell you so you would'nt tell Mrs. Kim."
"Okay. But I would like to know where you are at all times. Mrs Kim scares me."
"Fine. I'm sorry."
They get home and Lorelai speaks.
"Guess who got asked out on a date."
"You I guess. Who asked you?"
"Luke. Are you okay with this?"
"Wow. You and Luke".
"We are going out on Monday night."
"Wow. That's quick. Where is he taking you?"
"I don't know He didn't tell me."
The next day Lorelai went to the diner for coffee
"Hi. You're in late today."
"I over slept. Can I have a to-go cup today."
"Sure. Is everything okay?"
"No. I told Rory."
"Okay Is she okay with us going out tomorrow night."
"She didn't seem all that thrilled about it."
"Okay. A to-go cup right."
"Yes. That would be fine."
"Cheer up. We have out first date tomorrow."
"Thanks. See you soon."
Lorelai walks into The Independence Inn
"Sookie I need coffee and right now."
"Is everything okay."
"No. Rory doesn't want me seeing Luke"
"What? Why?"
"She thinks we are going to break up and we won't be able to eat in the diner again."
"Did she tell you this last night?"
"No she told be back when she first started Chilton."
"Maybe she is trying to protect you."
"I don't need protection. I want to find someone who loves me."
"Like Luke or Max?"
"Luke of course."
"Can you date Luke without Rory knowing about it?"
"No. It would be too weird."
"I'm only trying to help here."
"I know. You are a great friend. How did the rest of the date go."
"He took me home and kissed me goodnight and asked me out again."
"That's Great."
"I'll see you later. I'm heading at Luke's"
Lorelai walked to Luke's and on the way there Taylor cornered her.
"Lorelai."
"What Taylor"
"I was wondering if your house could be the drop off point for the town's rummage sale."
"Sure. How much stuff could this place have."
"Great. I will put signs out tomorrow. Can you convince Luke to put a sign up."
"Sure. I would love to."
"Bye Lorelai."
Lorelai walks into the diner.
"Hey."
"Hey Luke. How is your day going."
"Boring. Coffee?"
"Do you even have to ask.?"
"No. Stupid me."
"Taylor cornered me today to give up my house as the drop off point for the rummage sale."
"Really. I was it last year. My apartment was crammed with stuff."
"Are you serious. Great. So where are we going tomorrow night."
"It's a surprise. Fyi it is a overnight trip so plan ahead."
"Okay. Can't wait to see what it is."
"I will pick you up at 4 tomorrow."
"Can't wait."
Lorelai walked home thinking about her date with Luke.
Lorelai walked into the house and went into Rory's room
"Rory. Can we talk?"
"What? What about?"
"About Luke. Why don't you want me to be with Luke?"
"I want you to be with Luke. I am just concerned that it won't last."
"I don't know what to say. It's going to last."
"Where are you going on your first date?"
"He still won't tell me. But it's overnight."
"Overnight?"
"Yeah. He will pick me up at 4 tomorrow."
"Cool. I get the house to myself tomorrow."
"Don't get any ideas."
"I wont."
4pm tomorrow
Luke pulls up in a limo.
"I really didn't expect a limo."
"This is special for me."
"So where are we going that I needed to pack."
"New York City. We are seeing The Bangles."
Lorelai mouth dropped "Are we really seeing the Bangles?"
"Yes we are. We also have a hotel room at the Hilton at Times Square for the night."
"Wow. You are so great right now."
Luke and Lorelai arrive in NYC and get to the concert. They played Lorelai's favorite songs like Manic Monday, Walk like a Egyptian and Luke and Lorelai danced to Eternal Flame.
"This is a really great first date. How did you come up with this."
"I have people. I know you love this band and you talk about them a lot."
"I am very happy right now."
"I am happy too. Do you want to head out or stay?"
"Where would we go after this?"
"Dinner then to the hotel."
"Sure let's get dinner. I want to eat near Times Square."
"Why those restaurants are so tacky. I got a reservation at Craft."
"Wow. This date gets better and better."
Luke just smiled knowing that he did something right asking her out.
After dinner they headed for the hotel both drunk from dinner.
"I think we are in room 2398. It has a great view of Times Square."
"Cool. I am happy that you asked me out."
"I am too. I wasn't going to do it. But after seeing you sad about Sookie and Jackson I wanted to ask you.'
"I am very glad you did."
They stepped off the elevator and headed for their room for the night. Luke opened the door and led Lorelai inside.
"Woah. This room is amazing. I love it."
"Good. It took me a while to get it."
"You reserved this room to. I am lucky."
"I am glad."
Lorelai looks at the bed
"There is only one bed. Why is that?"
"I requested one bed besides it seemed silly to book two beds if we could share one bed"
"Were you hoping to get lucky tonight"
"Uh no. I was saving money."
"Right" Lorelai walks away and looks out the window.
I wasn't thinking about that. I think it not right to sleep with you until the 3rd date."
Lorelai turned around "'I'm sorry. I was just kidding. But in the back of my mind I thought we were going to do it tonight."
"Why do you think that.?"
"Well you book a hotel room in NYC away from Stars Hollow. I was hoping for tonight but if you want to wait.
"I gave you all the signs didn't I."
"Yes you did. I mean concert dinner and a hotel room."
"Sorry to lead you off like that. I do think we should wait until we are both ready."
"That's fine. How do you feel about the shower or do you think we should avoid it all for a bit."
"I think we should wait. if we rush things I wont forgive my self."
